HOUSTON — At least three people were shot in Houston on Wednesday during what police described as a human smuggling operation.
Officers from the Houston Police Department were dispatched to an IHOP restaurant on West Sam Houston Parkway in the Westchase neighborhood of the Texas metropolis at around 11:30 a.m. local time, after receiving at 911 call about a shooting. Upon arrival, the officers found two men -- one of whom had been shot in the arm -- who"told them that they had escaped from a human smuggling situation at a nearby hotel," according to Houston Police Commander Jonathan Halliday.
Two other men, who also escaped after being shot in the arm and leg, fled the scene and later showed up at a local hospital for treatment, but it was not immediately clear how they got there, Halliday said. Officers stopped two vehicles that were leaving the hotel and detained the occupants -- a total of nine people, all adult males, according to Halliday, who added that"we're not sure which of them are victims and which are possible suspects at this time."
